THE wAsHISGToNs PUT on THEIR NEW UNIFORMS
AND PLAY WITH MUCH SPIRIT.
The Statesman dOnned a complete new uniform
TO do battle with the Chicago team yesterday and
the fifteen hundred spectators who had come to
see Capt. Anson's men play ball, thought IL the
boys would only play as well as they looked and
could play, an interesting game would be the re-
suit. But little was expected OF the WaShingtons
because OF their recent Indifferent work No one
imagined that they would win with hands down.
The score was II TO 4. They soon showed that
they were on their mette, both In the field and at
the bat, and the crowd became greatly interested
Neither side scored until the fourth inning
when the visitors got a home. In the sixth
Washington made five runs. After two men were
ont Carroll was struck by pitched ball and
Hines was sent to his base on balls The new
man, Daily, stepped up TO the plate and drove
beauty past Williamson, which set the crowd wild
with enthusiasm. With the aid OF several wild
tn owS all three scored, and these were followed
by two more runs. For the rest OF the game the
WashingtonS kept pounding the ball, and the
ChicaSoS kept muf1ing those they could reach.
The visitors made three runs in the
and was admirably supported by Mack. The home
team played perfect fielding game and batted
CllrkoOn hard. They deserve credit for their good
work They have shown what they can DO time
and time again, ana 1t is hoped that no such half
hearted playing as was exhibited last week will be
again seen ut Capitol Park. Other games yester.
day resulted as follows: Philadelphia, 8; Indian
apois, o. rittsburg, 3; New York. .. ST. Louis II;
BaltimOre,5. Cincinnati 5; Metropolitan, o.
